<pre class="ruby"><span class="ruby-string">&quot;Jim, when will Rake reach version 1.0?&quot;</span>
</pre>

<p>Over the past several years I’ve been asked that question at conferences, panels and over twitter. Due to historical reasons (or maybe just plain laziness) Rake has (incorrectly) been treating the second digit of the version as the major release number. So in my head Rake was already at version 9.</p>

<p>Well, it’s time to fix things. This next version of Rake drops old, crufty, backwards compatibility hacks such as top level constants, DSL methods defined in <a href="../Object.html"><code>Object</code></a> and numerous other features that are just no longer desired. It’s also time to drop the leading zero from the version number as well and call this new version of rake what it really is: Version 10.</p>

<p>So, welcome to Rake 10.0!</p>

<p>Rake 10 is actually feature identical to the latest version of Rake 9 (that would be the version spelled 0.9.3), <strong>except</strong> that Rake 10 drops all the sundry deprecated features that have accumulated over the years.</p>

<p>If your Rakefile is up to date and current with all the new features of Rake 10, you are ready to go. If your Rakefile still uses a few deprecated feeatures, feel free to use Rake 9 (0.9.3) with the same feature set. Just be aware that future features will be in Rake 10 family line.</p>

<h4 id="label-Changes">Changes<span><a href="#label-Changes">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h4>

<p>As mentioned above, there are no new features in Rake 10. However, there are a number of features missing:</p>
<ul><li>
<p>Classic namespaces are now gone. Rake is no longer able to reflect the options settings in the global variables ($rakefile, $show_tasks, $show_prereqs, $trace, $dryrun and $silent). The <code>--classic-namespace</code> option is no longer supported.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Global constants are no longer supported. This includes <code>Task</code>, <code>FileTask</code>, <code>FileCreationTask</code> and <code>RakeApp</code>). The constant missing hook to warn about using global rake constants has been removed.</p>
</li><li>
<p>The Rake DSL methods (task, file, directory, etc) are in their own module (<a href="../Rake/DSL.html"><code>Rake::DSL</code></a>). The stub versions of these methods (that printed warnings) in <a href="../Object.html"><code>Object</code></a> have been removed. However, the DSL methods are added to the top-level <code>main</code> object. Since <code>main</code> is not in the inheritance tree, the presence of the DSL methods in main should be low impact on other libraries.</p>

<p>If you want to use the Rake DSL commands from your own code, just include <code>Rake::DSL</code> into your own classes and modules.</p>
</li><li>
<p>The deprecated syntax for task arguments (the one using <code>:needs</code>) has been removed.</p>
</li><li>
<p>The <code>--reduce-compat</code> flag has been removed (it’s not needed anymore).</p>
</li><li>
<p>The deprecated <code>rake/sys.rb</code> library has been removed.</p>
</li><li>
<p>The deprecated <code>rake/rdoctask.rb</code> library has been removed. <a href="../RDoc.html"><code>RDoc</code></a> supplies its own rake task now.</p>
</li><li>
<p>The deprecated <code>rake/gempackagetask.rb</code> library has been removed. Gem supplies its own package task now.</p>
</li></ul>

<p>There is one small behavioral change:</p>
<ul><li>
<p>Non-file tasks now always report the current time as their time stamp. This is different from the previous behavior where non-file tasks reported current time only if there were no prerequisites, and the max prerequisite timestamp otherwise. This lead to inconsistent and surprising behavior when adding prerequisites to tasks that in turn were prequisites to file tasks. The new behavior is more consistent and predictable.</p>
</li></ul>

<p>You can now do “Rake.add_rakelib ‘dir’” in your Rakefile to programatically add rake task libraries.</p>
</li><li>
<p>You can specific backtrace suppression patterns (see –suppress-backtrace)</p>

<p>Rake version 0.8.4 is a bug-fix release of rake.</p>

<p>NOTE: The version of Rake that comes with Ruby 1.9 has diverged</p>

<pre>slightly from the core Rake code base.  Rake 0.8.4 will work
with Ruby 1.9, but is not a strict upgrade for the Rake that
comes with Ruby 1.9.  A (near) future release of Rake will unify
those two codebases.</pre>

</li><li>
<p>The following public methods have been added to rake task objects:</p>
<ul><li>
<p>task.clear – Clear both the prerequisites and actions of the target rake task.</p>
</li><li>
<p>task.clear_prerequisites – Clear all the existing prerequisites from the target rake task.</p>

<p>task.reenable – Re-enable a task, allowing its actions to be executed again if the task is invoked.</p>
</li></ul>
</li><li>
<p>Changed <a href="../RDoc.html"><code>RDoc</code></a> test task to have no default template. This makes it easier for the tempate to pick up the template from the environment.</p>

<h4 id="label-Task+Argument+Examples">Task Argument Examples<span><a href="#label-Task+Argument+Examples">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h4>

<p>Prior to version 0.8.0, rake was only able to handle command line arguments of the form NAME=VALUE that were passed into Rake via the ENV hash.  Many folks had asked for some kind of simple command line arguments, perhaps using “–” to separate regular task names from argument values on the command line.  The problem is that there was no easy way to associate positional arguments on the command line with different tasks.  Suppose both tasks :a and :b expect a command line argument: does the first value go with :a?  What if :b is run first? Should it then get the first command line argument.</p>

<p>Rake 0.8.0 solves this problem by explicitly passing values directly to the tasks that need them.  For example, if I had a release task that required a version number, I could say:</p>

<pre>rake release[0.8.2]</pre>

<p>And the string “0.8.2” will be passed to the :release task.  Multiple arguments can be passed by separating them with a comma, for example:</p>

<pre class="ruby"><span class="ruby-identifier">rake</span> <span class="ruby-identifier">name</span>[<span class="ruby-identifier">john</span>,<span class="ruby-identifier">doe</span>]
</pre>

<p>Just a few words of caution.  The rake task name and its arguments need to be a single command line argument to rake.  This generally means no spaces.  If spaces are needed, then the entire rake + argument string should be quoted.  Something like this:</p>

<pre class="ruby"><span class="ruby-identifier">rake</span> <span class="ruby-string">&quot;name[billy bob, smith]&quot;</span>
</pre>

<p>(Quoting rules vary between operating systems and shells, so make sure you consult the proper docs for your OS/shell).</p>

<h5 id="label-Tasks+that+Expect+Parameters">Tasks that Expect Parameters<span><a href="#label-Tasks+that+Expect+Parameters">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h5>

<p>Parameters are only given to tasks that are setup to expect them.  In order to handle named parameters, the task declaration syntax for tasks has been extended slightly.</p>

<p>For example, a task that needs a first name and last name might be declared as:</p>

<pre class="ruby"><span class="ruby-identifier">task</span> <span class="ruby-value">:name</span>, <span class="ruby-value">:first_name</span>, <span class="ruby-value">:last_name</span>
</pre>

<p>The first argument is still the name of the task (:name in this case). The next to argumements are the names of the parameters expected by :name (:first_name and :last_name in the example).</p>

<p>To access the values of the parameters, the block defining the task behaviour can now accept a second parameter:</p>

<pre class="ruby"><span class="ruby-identifier">task</span> <span class="ruby-value">:name</span>, <span class="ruby-value">:first_name</span>, <span class="ruby-value">:last_name</span> <span class="ruby-keyword">do</span> <span class="ruby-operator">|</span><span class="ruby-identifier">t</span>, <span class="ruby-identifier">args</span><span class="ruby-operator">|</span>
  <span class="ruby-identifier">puts</span> <span class="ruby-node">&quot;First name is #{args.first_name}&quot;</span>
  <span class="ruby-identifier">puts</span> <span class="ruby-node">&quot;Last  name is #{args.last_name}&quot;</span>
<span class="ruby-keyword">end</span>
</pre>

<p>The first argument of the block “t” is always bound to the current task object.  The second argument “args” is an open-struct like object that allows access to the task arguments.  Extra command line arguments to a task are ignored.  Missing command line arguments are given the nil value.</p>

</li><li>
<p>Better error handling on invalid command line arguments (from Payton Quackenbush).</p>
</li><li>
<p>Fixed some bugs where the application object was going to the global appliation instead of using its own data.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Fixed the method name leak from <a href="../FileUtils.html"><code>FileUtils</code></a> (bug found by Glenn Vanderburg).</p>
</li><li>

</li><li>
<p>Added pathmap support to rule dependents.  In other words, if a pathmap format (beginning with a ‘%’) is given as a Rake rule dependent, then the name of the depend will be the name of the target with the pathmap format applied.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Added a ‘tasks’ method to a namespace to get a list of tasks associated with the namespace.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Added tar_command and zip_command options to the Package task.</p>

<ul><li>
<p>Changes in the exception reported for the FileUtils.ln caused safe_ln to fail with a NotImplementedError.  Rake 0.7.1 will now catch that error or any StandardError and properly fall back to using <code>cp</code>.</p>

<ul><li>
<p>You can filter the results of the –task option by supplying an optional regular expression.  This allows the user to easily find a particular task name in a long list of possible names.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Transforming procs in a rule may now return a list of prerequisites. This allows more flexible rule formation.</p>
</li><li>
<p>FileList and <a href="../String.html"><code>String</code></a> now support a <code>pathmap</code> melthod that makes the transforming paths a bit easier.  See the API docs for <code>pathmap</code> for details.</p>
</li><li>
<p>The -f option without a value will disable the search for a Rakefile.  This allows the Rakefile to be defined entirely in a library (and loaded with the -r option).  The current working directory is not changed when this is done.</p>

<p>These changes for Rake have been brewing for a long time.  Here they are, I hope you enjoy them.</p>

<h4 id="label-Changes">Changes<span><a href="#label-Changes">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h4>

<h5 id="label-New+Features">New Features<span><a href="#label-New+Features">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h5>
<ul><li>
<p>Name space support for task names (see below).</p>
</li><li>
<p>Prerequisites can be executed in parallel (see below).</p>
</li><li>
<p>Added safe_ln support for openAFS (via Ludvig Omholt).</p>
</li><li>
<p><a href="../RDoc.html"><code>RDoc</code></a> defaults to internal (in-process) invocation.  The old behavior is still available by setting the <code>external</code> flag to true.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Rakefiles are now loaded with the expanded path to prevent accidental pollution from the Ruby load path.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Task objects my now be used in prerequisite lists directly.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Task objects (in addition to task names) may now be included in the prerequisite list of a task.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Internals cleanup and refactoring.</p>
</li></ul>

<h5 id="label-Bug+Fixes">Bug Fixes<span><a href="#label-Bug+Fixes">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h5>
<ul><li>
<p>Compatibility fixes for Ruby 1.8.4 <a href="../FileUtils.html"><code>FileUtils</code></a> changes.</p>
</li></ul>

<h5 id="label-Namespaces">Namespaces<span><a href="#label-Namespaces">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h5>

<p>Tasks can now be nested inside their own namespaces.  Tasks within one namespace will not accidentally interfer with tasks named in a different namespace.</p>

<p>For example:</p>

<pre class="ruby"><span class="ruby-identifier">namespace</span> <span class="ruby-string">&quot;main&quot;</span> <span class="ruby-keyword">do</span>
  <span class="ruby-identifier">task</span> <span class="ruby-value">:build</span> <span class="ruby-keyword">do</span>
    <span class="ruby-comment"># Build the main program</span>
  <span class="ruby-keyword">end</span>
<span class="ruby-keyword">end</span>

<span class="ruby-identifier">namespace</span> <span class="ruby-string">&quot;samples&quot;</span> <span class="ruby-keyword">do</span>
  <span class="ruby-identifier">task</span> <span class="ruby-value">:build</span> <span class="ruby-keyword">do</span>
    <span class="ruby-comment"># Build the sample programs</span>
  <span class="ruby-keyword">end</span>
<span class="ruby-keyword">end</span>

<span class="ruby-identifier">task</span> <span class="ruby-value">:build_all</span> <span class="ruby-operator">=&gt;</span> [<span class="ruby-string">&quot;main:build&quot;</span>, <span class="ruby-string">&quot;samples:build&quot;</span>]
</pre>

<p>Even though both tasks are named :build, they are separate tasks in their own namespaces.  The :build_all task (defined in the toplevel namespace) references both build tasks in its prerequisites.</p>

<p>You may invoke each of the individual build tasks with the following commands:</p>

<pre class="ruby"><span class="ruby-identifier">rake</span> <span class="ruby-value">main:</span><span class="ruby-identifier">build</span>
<span class="ruby-identifier">rake</span> <span class="ruby-value">samples:</span><span class="ruby-identifier">build</span>
</pre>

<p>Or invoke both via the :build_all command:</p>

<pre class="ruby"><span class="ruby-identifier">rake</span> <span class="ruby-identifier">build_all</span>
</pre>

<p>Namespaces may be nested arbitrarily.  Since the name of file tasks correspond to the name of a file in the external file system, FileTasks are not affected by the namespaces.</p>

<p>See the Rakefile format documentation (in the Rake API documents) for more information.</p>

<h5 id="label-Parallel+Tasks">Parallel Tasks<span><a href="#label-Parallel+Tasks">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h5>

<p>Sometimes you have several tasks that can be executed in parallel.  By specifying these tasks as prerequisites to a <code>multitask</code> task.</p>

<p>In the following example the tasks copy_src, copy_doc and copy_bin will all execute in parallel in their own thread.</p>

<pre class="ruby"><span class="ruby-identifier">multitask</span> <span class="ruby-value">:copy_files</span> <span class="ruby-operator">=&gt;</span> [<span class="ruby-value">:copy_src</span>, <span class="ruby-value">:copy_doc</span>, <span class="ruby-value">:copy_bin</span>] <span class="ruby-keyword">do</span>
  <span class="ruby-identifier">puts</span> <span class="ruby-string">&quot;All Copies Complete&quot;</span>
<span class="ruby-keyword">end</span>
</pre>

<p>Its time for some long requested enhancements and lots of bug fixes … And a whole new web page.</p>

<h4 id="label-New+Web+Page">New Web Page<span><a href="#label-New+Web+Page">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h4>

<p>The primary documentation for rake has moved from the RubyForge based wiki to its own Hieraki based web site.  Constant spam on the wiki made it a difficult to keep clean.  The new site will be easier to update and organize.</p>

<p>Check out the new documentation at: <a href="http://docs.rubyrake.org">docs.rubyrake.org</a></p>

<p>We will be adding new documentation to the site as time goes on.</p>

<p>In addition to the new docs page, make sure you check out Martin Fowlers article on rake at <a href="http://martinfowler.com/articles/rake.html">martinfowler.com/articles/rake.html</a></p>

<h4 id="label-Changes">Changes<span><a href="#label-Changes">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h4>

<h5 id="label-New+Features">New Features<span><a href="#label-New+Features">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h5>
<ul><li>
<p>Multiple prerequisites on Rake rules now allowed.  However, keep the following in mind:</p>
<ol><li>
<p>All the prerequisites of a rule must be available before a rule is triggered, where “enabled” means (a) an existing file, (b) a defined rule, or © another rule which also must be trigger-able.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Rules are checked in order of definition, so it is important to order your rules properly.  If a file can be created by two different rules, put the more specific rule first (otherwise the more general rule will trigger first and the specific one will never be triggered).</p>
</li><li>
<p>The <code>source</code> method now returns the name of the first prerequisite listed in the rule.  <code>sources</code> returns the names of all the rule prerequisites, ordered as they are defined in the rule.  If the task has other prerequisites not defined in the rule (but defined in an explicit task definition), then they will <em>not</em> be included in the sources list.</p>
</li></ol>
</li><li>
<p>FileLists may now use the egrep command.  This popular enhancement is now a core part of the FileList object.  If you want to get a list of all your to-dos, fixmes and TBD comments, add the following to your Rakefile.</p>

<pre class="ruby"><span class="ruby-identifier">desc</span> <span class="ruby-string">&quot;Look for TODO and FIXME tags in the code&quot;</span>
<span class="ruby-identifier">task</span> <span class="ruby-value">:todo</span> <span class="ruby-keyword">do</span>
  <span class="ruby-constant">FileList</span>[<span class="ruby-string">&#39;**/*.rb&#39;</span>].<span class="ruby-identifier">egrep</span> <span class="ruby-regexp">/#.*(FIXME|TODO|TBD)/</span>
<span class="ruby-keyword">end</span>
</pre>
</li><li>
<p>The <code>investigation</code> method was added to task object to dump out some important values.  This makes it a bit easier to debug Rake tasks.</p>

<p>For example, if you are having problems with a particular task, just print it out:</p>

<pre class="ruby"><span class="ruby-identifier">task</span> <span class="ruby-value">:huh</span> <span class="ruby-keyword">do</span>
  <span class="ruby-identifier">puts</span> <span class="ruby-constant">Rake</span><span class="ruby-operator">::</span><span class="ruby-constant">Task</span>[<span class="ruby-string">&#39;huh&#39;</span>].<span class="ruby-identifier">investigation</span>
<span class="ruby-keyword">end</span>
</pre>
</li><li>
<p>The <a href="../Rake/TestTask.html"><code>Rake::TestTask</code></a> class now supports a “ruby_opts” option to pass arbitrary ruby options to a test subprocess.</p>
</li></ul>

<h5 id="label-Some+Incompatibilities">Some Incompatibilities<span><a href="#label-Some+Incompatibilities">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h5>
<ul><li>
<p>When using the <code>ruby</code> command to start a Ruby subprocess, the Ruby interpreter that is currently running rake is used by default. This makes it easier to use rake in an environment with multiple ruby installation.  (Previously, the first ruby command found in the PATH was used).</p>

<p>If you wish to chose a different Ruby interpreter, you can explicitly choose the interpreter via the <code>sh</code> command.</p>
</li><li>
<p>The major rake classes (Task, FileTask, FileCreationTask, RakeApp) have been moved out of the toplevel scope and are now accessible as <a href="../Rake/Task.html"><code>Rake::Task</code></a>, <a href="../Rake/FileTask.html"><code>Rake::FileTask</code></a>, <a href="../Rake/FileCreationTask.html"><code>Rake::FileCreationTask</code></a> and <a href="../Rake/Application.html"><code>Rake::Application</code></a>.  If your Rakefile directly references any one of these tasks, you may:</p>
<ol><li>
<p>Update your Rakefile to use the new classnames</p>
</li><li>
<p>Use the –classic-namespace option on the rake command to get the old behavior,</p>
</li><li>
<p>Add <code>require &#39;rake/classic_namespace&#39;</code> to the Rakefile to get the old behavior.</p>
</li></ol>

<p><code>rake</code> will print a rather annoying warning whenever a deprecated class name is referenced without enabling classic namespace.</p>
</li></ul>

<h5 id="label-Bug+Fixes">Bug Fixes<span><a href="#label-Bug+Fixes">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h5>
<ul><li>
<p>Several unit tests and functional tests were fixed to run better under windows.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Directory tasks are now a specialized version of a File task.  A directory task will only be triggered if it doesn’t exist.  It will not be triggered if it is out of date w.r.t. any of its prerequisites.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Fixed a bug in the Rake::GemPackageTask class so that the gem now properly contains the platform name.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Fixed a bug where a prerequisite on a <code>file</code> task would cause an exception if the prerequisite did not exist.</p>
</li></ul>

<p>Time for some minor bug fixes and small enhancements</p>

<h4 id="label-Changes">Changes<span><a href="#label-Changes">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h4>

<p>Here are the changes for version 0.5.4 …</p>
<ul><li>
<p>Added double quotes to the test runner.  This allows the location of the tests (and runner) to be in a directory path that contains spaces (e.g. “C:/Program Files/ruby/bin”).</p>
</li><li>
<p>Added .svn to default ignore list.  Now subversion project metadata is automatically ignored by Rake’s FileList.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Updated FileList#include to support nested arrays and filelists. FileLists are flat lists of file names.  Using a FileList in an include will flatten out the nested file names.</p>
</li></ul>

<h2 id="label-Thanks">Thanks<span><a href="#label-Thanks">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h2>

<p>As usual, it was input from users that drove a alot of these changes. Thanks to …</p>

<p>Tilman Sauerbeck for the nested FileList suggestion.</p>
</li><li>

<h3 id="label-0.5.3">0.5.3<span><a href="#label-0.5.3">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h3>

<p>Although it has only been two weeks since the last release, we have enough updates to the Rake program to make it time for another release.</p>

<h4 id="label-Changes">Changes<span><a href="#label-Changes">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h4>

<p>Here are the changes for version 0.5.3 …</p>
<ul><li>
<p>FileLists have been extensively changed so that they mimic the behavior of real arrays even more closely.  In particular, operations on FileLists that return a new collection (e.g. collect, reject) will now return a FileList rather than an array.  In addition, several places where FileLists were not properly expanded before use have been fixed.</p>
</li><li>
<p>A method (<code>ext</code>) to simplify the handling of file extensions was added to <a href="../String.html"><code>String</code></a> and to Array.</p>
</li><li>
<p>The ‘testrb’ script in test/unit tends to silently swallow syntax errors in test suites.  Because of that, the default test loader is now a rake-provided script.  You can still use ‘testrb’ by setting the loader flag in the test task to :testrb.  (See the API documents for TestTask for all the loader flag values).</p>
</li><li>
<p>FileUtil methods (e.g. cp, mv, install) are now declared to be private.  This will cut down on the interference with user defined methods of the same name.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Fixed the verbose flag in the TestTask so that the test code is controlled by the flag.  Also shortened up some failure messages. (Thanks to Tobias Luetke for the suggestion).</p>
</li><li>
<p>Rules will now properly detect a task that can generate a source file.  Previously rules would only consider source files that were already present.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Added an <code>import</code> command that allows Rake to dynamically import dependendencies into a running Rake session.  The <code>import</code> command can run tasks to update the dependency file before loading them. Dependency files can be in rake or make format, allowing rake to work with tools designed to generate dependencies for make.</p>
</li></ul>

<h4 id="label-Changes">Changes<span><a href="#label-Changes">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h4>

<p>Version 0.4.15 is a bug fix update for the Ruby 1.8.2 compatibility changes.  This release includes:</p>
<ul><li>
<p>Fixed a bug that prevented the TESTOPTS flag from working with the revised for 1.8.2 test task.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Updated the docs on –trace to indicate that it also enables a full backtrace on errors.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Several fixes for new warnings generated.</p>
</li></ul>

<h4 id="label-Mini-Roadmap">Mini-Roadmap<span><a href="#label-Mini-Roadmap">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h4>

<p>I will continue to issue Rake updates in the 0.4.xx series as new Ruby-1.8.2 issues become manifest.  Once the codebase stabilizes, I will release a 0.5.0 version incorporating all the changes.  If you are not using Ruby-1.8.2 and wish to avoid version churn, I recommend staying with a release prior to Rake-0.4.14.</p>

<h3 id="label-0.4.14">0.4.14<span><a href="#label-0.4.14">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h3>

<p>Version 0.4.14 is a compatibility fix to allow Rake’s test task to work under Ruby 1.8.2.  A change in the Test::Unit autorun feature prevented Rake from running any tests.  This release fixes the problem.</p>

<p>Rake 0.4.14 is the recommended release for anyone using Ruby 1.8.2.</p>

<h3 id="label-0.4.13">0.4.13<span><a href="#label-0.4.13">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h3>

<p>Now using multi -r technique in TestTask.  Switch Rakefile back to using the built-in test task macros because the rake runtime is no longer needed.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Added ‘TEST=filename’ and ‘TESTOPTS=options’ to the Test Task macros.</p>
</li><li>
<p>Allow a <code>test_files</code> attribute in test tasks.  This allows more flexibility in specifying test files.</p>
</li></ul>
